I hope this post will save you many stress points in the future.
Step of the Day: Make an Appointment
Schedule that _________________ appointment. You know, that dreaded appointment, that forgotten appointment, that pain-in-the-butt appointment, that uncomfortable appointment, that needed, but avoided appointment. But really, pick one from the list below:
- gynecologist
- dentist
- opthalmologist
- mammogram
- colonoscopy
- accountant
- financial planner
- therapist or coach
- auto repair
With these types of tasks, picking up the phone may feel like opening the door to dread, pain, financial loss, and embarassment. Instead of avoiding these negative experiences, learn to get them out of the way. The types of appointments listed above may give you momentary discomfort, but will provide you with peace of mind in the longer term. And that longer term begins as soon as your appointment is through. You will know where you stand and you will not have these matters trailing you like a dark cloud. Phew.
Which one will you choose? Which appointments would you add to the list?
